#Krewella get wet full#

I think that’s what I love about it and it’s just amazing to see such a diverse crowd.

I think the cool thing about Electric Zoo is that it brings in people from both coasts as well as people from all over the country.

It has more culture than other city and is full of color. This is one of our favorite festivals in the states just because New York itself has so much culture and so many foreigners. Last year was our first year – it was awesome. You came to New York for Electric Zoo, have you performed at the festival before? It’s really exciting to have features like that in a song that we actually wrote with Patrick Stump and Travis. We are trying to bring that back into the music we are making now. We grew up listening to pop, punk, metal, and rock. That’s a good example of how we are trying to blend all of our influences. That’s probably one of our favorite tracks on this album. We have a dope collaboration on this album with Patrick Stump and Travis Barker. We tried to really open our minds to making music that did not stay in a box of a genre. There is everything from drum and bass, carnival step, progressive house, electro house, and dub step. We have been working on this album for about 14 months now and it’s a combination of those past 14 months. You have a new album coming out called “Get Wet” can you tell me about it? They are not our little minions, they are our family and friends. We call them our Krew because we feel like they are our friends, our buddies, our team, and our family. We naturally started calling our fans our “Krew”. That’s another thing that’s kind of fallen into place too, “Get Wet”. It really represents our sound with Chris’ dark, metal inspired production along with our melodic vocals. I love how it is feminine yet it feels dark and evil at the same time. With Krewella I really feel like it’s something that people won’t forget. The spelling is different to the Disney character, “Cruella”. I love names that are unforgettable, names that you can Google. It was a very unique name as titles go, song titles, and artists names.

The name popped in my head and I didn’t second-guess it. We tried out a couple of other girls beforehand, when it was just Chris and I. This was before Yasmine joined the group. How did you come up with you stage name Krewella?

We put out our first songs and it seems like so long ago. It was July 2011 – so exactly 2 years, 2 months ago. We are singers and song writers and we all DJ.Īlmost seven years, since 2007, but we debuted only 3 years ago. We have a third member Chris aka Rain Man and he’s our producer. Krewella: I’m Yasmine and I’m Jahan we are two thirds of Krewella. Indira Cesarine: I hear you have a new album coming out, and a lot of performances lined up – tell me everything! We caught up with the hybrid DJ / performance trio Krewella while they were in New York this week for an exclusive interview. The extended player hit #1 on the Beatport charts and the single 'Alive' went to #1 on Billboard's Dance Radio Airplay.Krewella by Indira Cesarine for The Untitled Magazine Though they garnered a substantial following for their unique blend of electro house, dubstep, and lyrics, it would skyrocket after they self-released their critically acclaimed Play Hard EP in the summer of 2012. From their early beginnings at underground raves in the warehouses of Chicago, sisters Jahan and Yasmine Yousaf and producer Kris 'Rain Man' Trindl first burst onto the scene in 2011. Self-made trio Krewella are undeniably one of the hottest acts out right now. Adding support to the impending fall tour are fresh talents Seven Lions and Candyland.
